Ancient History


I found this photograph of me, photographing a baseball game at Yankee Stadium.  I started at Newsday in November of 1966 where I shot sports, like the Yankees, and the NY Jets because of the days and hours I worked.  I think I was a general assignment photographer for 5 or 6 years, before the Sunday Magazine started and then I was the staff photographer for that from then on, until they folded the magazine, in 1990.  I cannot believe how young I was here!  And ask me if I ever saved any prints of my sports photos!  I photographed Joe Namath every Sunday home game and never saved a print!  What a dolt!

What a wonderful photo. You look too young to have graduated college. You are a kid. The size of the camera is amazing. What a great find! Sorry you didn't save a photo of Joe Namath. I thought you saved everything.

You look like a teenager! And the camera is quite large. Doesn’t make sense for you to save photos of Joe Namath because you were never a big sports guy. I love the old photos of you doing what you love - taking photos!
